spring break fun

boy, did we get lucky.  we actually had really good weather for spring break.  so we took advantage of it by playing outside as much as possible.  we even spent an entire day at the zoo.

monday i was able to get together with a companion from my mission.  it was so good to sit and talk, i never really knew her well on our mission (that was entirely my fault) and i'm so glad that i was able to rectify that a little.  i'm not too impressed with my hair in this pic, but i decided to show it any way.  thanks meagan for visiting with us, we had so much fun!

wednesday we played at the zoo:

An Austin is faithful 100%

slow and steady win the race

my cute little bunny

aren't they handsome!!

in the reptile house we saw a tortoise nosedive off a large rock.  one of the zoo workers had to come set him back upright, she said he's a bit adventurous and frequently gets into trouble.  we actually got the whole thing on video.  it was quite exciting.

two of the cutest little oxpeckers you'll ever see

ian has a new love for peacocks and insisted on riding the peacock carriage on the carousel even though it didn't move, he was willing to share though.

i HATE this spider thing at the playground.  way too realistic for my taste.  my girls obviously didn't take after me, and now i have nightmares of this scene.

friday we went to the discovery museum in salt lake.  we were so lucky to meet up with dawnelle, grandpa craig and grandma rosie.  we're always so excited to see them.

this is fiona the pony and ian the goat at farmland

wesley wanted to be a bumblebee in the theatre area, he loved having a stinger

lydia could have spent the whole time at the water area.  and i really need to remember to bring her a change of clothes from now on.

we really had a great week and hope that you all enjoyed your spring breaks as well
